===The Monk===
[[File:Doric's whetstone.png|right|thumb|Doric's whetstone]]
You start this quest by speaking to the [[Monk (Devious Minds)|monk]] just outside [[Paterdomus]], the temple on the [[River Salve|Salve]]. It is east of the [[Silvarea]] mountain range and can be reached by walking east from [[Varrock]] and the ruins of the [[Earth Altar]], north-east from the [[Digsite]] or west from [[Morytania]]. The closest [[fairy ring]] is '''CKS'''. If coming from Morytania, 65 [[Agility]] is handy to use a shortcut.

The monk requires a new, stronger weapon for a certain group of warriors in order to secure more victories. He wants you to make a [[bow-sword]]. {{clear|left}}

===A Strange Weapon===
[[File:Doric's Hut Map.png|right|thumb|Location of Doric's Hut]]
To make this bow-sword, take a [[mithril 2h sword]] to [[Doric]]'s house and use it on the whetstone to make a [[slender blade]]. Then use it with a [[bowstring]] to make the [[bow-sword]]. You can get to Doric's house by taking the balloon south of the sawmill to [[Taverley]] using [[logs|normal logs]]. Another fast way to reach Doric is to use the [[Lodestone Network]] to teleport to Falador, due to the Lodestone being north of Falador the walk to Doric's house is fairly quick. His house is right east of the entrance gate to Taverley, north of [[Falador]].

'''Note:''' it is possible to use temporary boosts ([[dwarven stout]], [[dwarven stout (m)]] or [[spicy stew]]) to reach the required Smithing level of 65. If using spicy stew, it is advised to be at least level 60 Smithing, as getting a +6 boost is very rare. Also, note that it is '''NOT''' possible to use the [[Assist System]] to make this item.

When you have made the bow-sword, you can use the Balloons to fly back to Varrock by using [[willow logs]] if you have already unlocked the Varrock destination, or ten sets of willow logs if you have not. By any method, make your way back to the monk.

===A Gift For Entrana===
[[File:Smuggle.png|thumb|300px|The monk asking you to make the "delivery" to Entrana.]]
Give the [[bow-sword]] to the Monk and he will be grateful enough to ask for one more favour. There will be a special ceremony on the island of [[Entrana]], but unfortunately the man cannot attend it but wants to give them a special present to mark the occasion. He will give you an [[Orb (Devious Minds)|orb]] to deliver, and ask you to take it to the church in [[Entrana]]. But for it to work out as a good surprise, you must sneak into the church and not be seen entering the island. Therefore he advises to use the realm of the [[Abyss]] to get to the [[law altar]] on Entrana. He also wants you to keep the orb in a large pouch from the realm to avoid it being damaged.

'''Please Note:''' The ONLY WAY to get to Entrana with the orb is through the Abyss, or through the use of a [[Law altar teleport]]. If you try the Balloons, or through the wharf, you will be cut off when the monk or balloon assistant asks about the 'pouch' and its contents. As usual though, no other weapons or armour are allowed on Entrana, so bank them before entering the Abyss. Also, the [[wicked hood]] does not work.

To do this successfully, hide the orb in a [[large pouch]] (thus creating an illuminated [[Large Pouch (Devious Minds)|Large Pouch]]), then use the [[Abyss]] to reach the [[law altar]] as you would usually, and finally exit the law altar using the portal to reach Entrana. The abyss is accessible only through a teleport of the [[Mage of Zamorak]], who is in low level [[Wilderness]], at the point where the [[River Lum]] goes underground, north of [[Edgeville]]. "Beware of the abyssal creatures while in the Abyss!"

[[File:Inner ring of the Abyss.png|thumb|The inner ring of the Abyss]]
*If your toolbelt is stocked with a pickaxe and hatchet, you can use any method to get to the center of the abyss.
*Instead of using the Abyss you are able to use a [[Law altar teleport tab]]let, obtainable by playing the [[Great Orb Project]] in the Runecrafting Guild. A law altar teleport tab requires 43 Runecrafting Guild tokens to purchase.
*Make sure your large pouch is not degraded. If it is, you will be denied access into Entrana with the orb in the pouch. Contact the [[Dark mage (Abyss)|dark mage]], either by the [[NPC Contact]] spell or directly in the abyss, or [[Wizard Korvak]] in the Runecrafting Guild to get it repaired. Alternatively, the spell [[Repair Rune Pouch]] can be used, which is bought at the [[Livid Farm]].

===Surprise!===
[[File:Assassin chathead.png|left]]
[[File:Devious minds - temple attack.png|thumb|200px|The assassination of the monks.]]
When on Entrana, go into the church to the South, and use your large pouch on the altar. You will see a cutscene where some monks are walking towards the altar to begin the ceremony, one holding a mysterious [[relic]], when an [[assassin]] wielding the bow-sword teleports in, swiftly kills the monks and steals the relic! It turns out that the orb you delivered was in fact a teleportation item using ancient magic, which allowed the assassin to teleport in.

===Aftermath===
While you're at the altar, you may want to recharge your prayer since it was drained when you entered the Abyss. Talk to the [[High Priest (Entrana)|High Priest]]. He will forgive you as it was not your fault and tell you to return to the monk at [[Paterdomus]] to investigate.

[[File:Deadmonk.png|thumb|200px|The dead monk at Paterdomus.]]
Make your way back to the monk in Paterdomus. Upon arrival, the [[Monk (Devious Minds)|monk]] you helped will be gone, replaced by a [[Dead Monk]], who does not look like the previous one at all. Searching the body reveals that he has been killed by powerful magic.

Go back to Entrana. Talk to the High Priest again, he will ask you to inform [[Sir Tiffy Cashien]] at [[Falador]] Park about the strange events. Locate Sir Tiffy sitting on a bench and tell him about the incident. He will investigate it with the Temple Knights.

'''Congratulations, QUEST COMPLETE!!'''

==Trivia==
{{Template:Listen

|filename = Devious Minds.ogg
|desc = The music that plays when the relic is stolen.}}
*Regardless of whether or not you have completed or even started [[One Small Favour]], the monk mentions "...one final favour..." you reply: "Wait... this sounds familiar..."
*Jagex stated this quest took the shortest amount of time to make since RuneScape Classic.{{CiteForum |author=Mod Mark |url=http://www.webcitation.org/5m7lGdGD1 |title=Answers from RS Content |postdate=10-Sep-2009 21:42:10 |date=15:23, April 24, 2011 (UTC)}}
*Originally, players could only enter the Law Altar after completion of the [[Troll Stronghold]] quest. As such, it was originally a requirement for Devious Minds. Later, [[Troll Stronghold]]'s reward was changed so that it was no longer a requirement for access to the Law Altar. It was accordingly removed as a requirement for this quest.
*When trying to wield the bow-sword the player exclaims "It's a bow and a sword...how am I supposed to use this?!".
*Asking the monk to teach the player how to use the bow-sword produces the comment that "it's a foreign weapon" and "perhaps later" one of their warriors can teach them.
